Rush vs Walter Cronkite

This is about freeperville, so feel free to skip.

I visited the site to see how they were taking the news. One would think that Jesus himself had died. There was nothing but praise for him, and crying emojis.
I remember visiting the site when Walter Cronkite died.
There was nothing but vitriol. They accused him of losing the Vietnam war.

DU has a lot of comments on Rush today. Some of them kind of negative. Compared to the way they treated Cronkite, these comments are practically praise.

Rush, I hope your last meal was a shit sandwich.
